Hi, Samba-friends I am not very deep in Samba *file* services, so please bear with me. The network admins of my employer alarmed me (being the local "Linux Guy") with this problem: * they run a 2-node fileserver cluster, based on RedHat (version?) with a Samba version announcing itself "2.2.7-security-rollout" or similar. * Samba runs in a chrooted environment. It was

Unbelievable! These guys get more and more disgusting each day. But now I have a proof that Linux and all its free software community (samba included) are indeed growing and are indeed consideder a threat by M$. Expect more and dirtier moves. Can you guys point me to more material on the subject? []'s, Juan > From: "Le Quellec, Francis" <FLeQuell@Teknor.com> > >

Hi, I've been running a samba server for our small group of users (about 15) for approx the last 18 months with great success. We use the server for both file and printer sharing. I had to make some modifications to the printer configuration today, and I've got a quick question which arose from my tinkering. I wanted to configure the server such that each of our printers can be used

I am using samba-1.9.16p11 and have not been able to make browsing work from my 9.04 HP where it is on a switched ethernet segement alone. I have tried many combinations including remote announce to networks as well as Our NT Domain Server/ Win Servers. All to no avail. I am sure there is some key point I am missing. In fact my clients have to have DNS turned on in addition to WINS in order to

Hi folks, I have a curious problem when executing self extracting zip files from a samba share. Everything does work, but it is very very slow. Copying the .exe onto local disk (from the samba share) takes no time at all (500kb/sec). I would say it takes about 10 times as long to unzip when run directly from the samba share. This happens will all self-extracting exe files, and also from any share

I've installed Samba ("latest") on SCO's openserver 5 with a WIN'95 hanging off of it as a client. I can run every test in DIAGNOSI.txt except for number 2. That is, the WIN'95 box can not ping the SCO box within a reasonable amount of time. (SCO can ping the WIN'95 box fine). For the longest time I thought the WIN'95 box couldn't ping the SCO box but I

Hi, I'm running Windows NT 4.0 (SP3) as a client and using samba v1.9.17p4 on Solaris 2.5 for a server and ran into some problems with the visibility of shares. I'm not too sure if this is a feature or a bug. After I connect to the server the first time, the shares being listed on my client don't get refreshed properly. After connecting, I had removed a share from the server and

hi out there, first of all: samba is pretty cool! question: is there a way to synchronize the clock of my linux box to a win95 box (something like 'smbnet time \\win95 /set /yes')? cheers jodok ;----------------------------------- Jodok Sutterluety Austria, Vienna Tel: ++43 1 4080791 email: js@bonus.unterland.at ;-----------------------------------

Hello, I have red the E-mail from Christophe Dumont from 17 Mar 1997We have a similar problem. In our smb.conf we have the entries: [global] hosts allow = 193.174.234., 192.124.248., 193.174.235., 141.35.191.122 workgroup = IMBNET printing = SYSV printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/yppasswd share modes = yes browseable = yes ....

I am getting a complaint that my Samba server running on Solaris 2.5 cannot be found from a user's PC running NT Workstation 4.0. Any suggestions? thanks, garrett curtis garrettc@eos.net

We fixed our own problem. Turns out that server taber is at service pack 1 and hyde is at service pack 3. In service pack 3 the smb redirector doesn't send unencrypted passwords without a registry entry to enable them. See article Q166730 at www.microsoft.com for details. This brings up another question. Is anyone out there using Samba with the encrypted passwords from NT 4? Ed Maple UNIX

Hello! I have a problem with samba. I run the freebsd samba-des port (samba-des-1.9.17.4) in a pretty much vanilla setting; home dir, a few shared dirs, no printing (yet). The problem is performance. While Samba is not terribly slow it's still too slow. Copying large files takes about half a minute/meg on an Ethernet LAN with no other activity. Trying to read a file using netscape

Hello: I wonder if I could get a little help with random sampling in R. I have a vector of length 7375. I would like to draw 3 distinct random samples, each of length 100 without replacement. I have tried the following: d1 <- 1:7375 set.seed(7) i <- sample(d1, 100, replace=F) s1 <- sort(d1[i]) s1 d2 <- d1[-i] set.seed(77) j <- sample(d2, 100, replace=F) s2 <- sort(d2[j])

Hi all, We (the Samba Team) need some feed back from our user community. Anyone want to help out? All you need to do is post us a one liner. Tell us if you want 8 character length limited print share names or larger. If you really must have longer print share names - then how many characters? Should we limit the length? Background: >From time to time we receive patches to increase the maximum

Hello root@inet.hkg.com, It looks like someone, at your end, is leaking SPAM into the Samba list. The apparent source of this SPAM is <inet.hkg.com> which, unbelieveably, is a real address. They are then relay-raping the Singapore Network to get it into this list. After careful deliberation, I have conciously decided to forward this one message into the samba lists. All future SPAM

Hello all, Some may find this redundant, but this addresses a lot of qustions that I've been seeing, in the last few months, that were not dealt with, in the whole. In this message, I am addressing only capabilities, not specific HOW-TOs. It's more of a WHAT-IT-CAN-DO with a hint of WHY-YOU-WOULD-WANT-TO. In the near view, treat this as a features test report. SUMMARY: The questions were

Is there a way to create an NTConfig.POL file without having access to an NT4, w2k or w2k3 server? Is there a way to do it in linux? Or a winxp/9x workstation?

Hello all, I have a recently discovered problem. It's creating a crisis. Most of my local GL is in Quicken. The Quicken data directory i on a Samba share on one of my Linux boxen. I am running p11.

Hello to the list, It seems that we have a leak. Someone is posting SPAM on this list. Since the headers are not being propogated we can not really tell where it's comming from. I would suggest that we not respond by quoting the FULL TEXT from the SPAM, however. This seems counter-productive, unless we LIKE repeating the SPAMers message for them. I would think that someone, in an EDU, would
